Two anti-gay preachers assaulted at gay pride rally

Another victory for tolerance! [quote]If two gay rights protesters were beat-up at a Christian rally, wouldn’t that have been front page news and banner headlines across the country?[/quote] I think people have misinterpreted me here, I should have made it more clear that the above quote was not my own and I only partially agree with it (and the source as a whole). I have no persecution complex; Christians are in the majority in the US, and yes, they are often aggressively oppressive against issues like gay rights. That said, the [i]very moment[/i] that you say this attack would be [i]in any way[/i] more justifiable than an equivalent attack with the roles reversed, you have debased yourself to the level of the Christian fundamentalists.

  • What people don't seem to understand is that Christians believe homosexuality is a sin, but they certainly do not hate gays. Because everyone sins, and homosexuality is just one of those sins. Those preachers just can't stand letting what they believe to be a sin to be glorified, and just want to let everyone at the pride parade know the moral significance of what they are doing. By no means are they condemning anyone - because judging is also a sin. It's just shocking that they would be beat up for this.
